W. Parks.” The wife of A1 Eaton, well known through- out this country as an excellent photographer, is just recovering from a severe spell of sick- ness. ( 12 ) From the May 24, 1889, Issue of The Enterprise A Poor Marksman An Injured Husband’s Reckless Attempt To Get Even Jo. Cummings and J. J. Pearson have been partners in the saloon business at Lordsburg for the past few months, coming there together from Omaha. Mr. Pearson brought his wife and three children to Lordsburg with him. It seems that both Cummings and Mrs. Pearson under- stood that the firm partnership was unlimited, and that Mrs. Pearson extended as many favors to the partner as she did to her husband. As a consequence the domestic felicity of the here- tofore happy family was somewhat shattered. Pearson was a very unhappy man, and foolishly attempted to drown his sorrows in Lordsburg whiskey. Some time since Cummings was arrest- ed for attempted rape on a little girl, and gave bonds for his appearance. But his bondsmen soon afterwards asked to be relieved from the bonds, as they feared Cummings would “skip.” Ke was then brought to this city, and while a comparative stranger, soon succeeded in giving bonds. Mrs. Pearson then left her husband and children, came to this city and found employ- ment with Dr. Gaddis, who knew nothing of the woman further than that she was a good worker. Cummings had a room in the same house.
